999 So.2d 766 (2009) STATE of Louisiana v. Kenneth R. MORGAN. No. 2009-KK-0261. Supreme Court of Louisiana. February 5, 2009. Writ granted. There is no showing that the defendant was prejudiced by the late disclosure of the witnesses' statements; thus, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for a mistrial. Accordingly, the court of appeal's ruling is hereby vacated and the ruling of the district court denying the motion for a mistrial is reinstated. Case remanded to district court for further proceedings. JOHNSON, J., would deny the writ.
